LRW #217 - Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

If you're reading this as this post goes live, I'm likely in the midst of witnessing the magic of Christmas. I am watching in delight, as my children's faces are filled with excitement and joy.

It will be a magical and memory filled day--and I wish yours is the same!

This week's Little Red Wagon challenge is appropriately

Anything Christmas.

I couldn't decide between these two cards.

 I added some glossy accents onto Rudolph's nose here:

Hope you can sit back with a warm "bevie" and check out what the rest of the DT created for Christmas.

Have a great one!!

Thanks 4 your time!

LRW#216 -- Non-traditional Christmas Colours

Wow--only one week left until Christmas!! Shopping is done--now I just have to wrap!

This week's Little Red Wagon challenge from Regan asks us to think outside the gift box and use

NON-TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS COLOURS

Here's my take:

 I made this originally for last week's Holiday Birthday challenge (I also need quite a few December birthday cards), but the sentiment could be swapped out for a standard Holiday greeting.  I glued up my hand cut snow hills and covered them with superfine glitter.  The shimmer IRL is awesome!

Be sure to check out what the rest of the DT created,

then link up your non-traditonal Christmas colour project here.

Thanks 4 your time!

LRW #215--Holiday Birthday

LRW #214--Here Comes Santa Claus

[Sorry for the late post--computer was not cooperating this morning]

Hard to believe we're only a few weeks away from Christmas!  Blogland is full of holiday inspiration right now, and Little Red Wagon is no exception!

Jan has asked us this week to feature Jolly 'ol Santa Claus.  I used this Santa image last week, and I'm using him again this week (only Santa image I have, really, but I love using it!).  I went for a CAS card to have him pop!  I had to glitter his fur trim again, too!

Check out how the rest of the DT used Santa on their projects (links in my sidebar).


Thanks 4 your time!

LRW #213 -- Off the Edge

It's another challenge at Little Red Wagon!  

It's Joanne turn, and her challenge for this week is to create a card that has an element or embellishment that extends beyond the base of your card.

Here's my take:

 I added some glitter to Santa's trim.

Check out what the rest of the DT has created,
then link up your "off the edge" project here.

Thanks 4 your time!

LRW #212 -- Accordion Fold

Hello all!  Definitely a challenge for me this week over at Little Red Wagon . . .

where the challenge is to use and ACCORDION FOLD on your project.  I don't own a Scor-pal or an accordion type die, so I tend to avoid any type of fancy folds, but here's what I came up with:

 Just a small accordion fold peaking out from behind my sentiment label die.  Do you like how my sentiment complements my stamped background in a "pun"-ny way?!

Be sure to check out the great accordion folds the rest of the DT has cooked up this week,

then link up your project to the LRW post here.

Thanks 4 your time!

LRW #211--Keep in Trim

Happy Wednesday all!  Sorry I missed last week's LRW challenge.  Two words: Report Cards! (yuck).
I'm back with this week's challenge from Jayne over at Little Red Wagon.

She's asked us to use TRIM on our projects . . . one problem for me--I had absolutely NO trim in my wagon.  I also have had no time to go shopping for crafty goodness (nor much time to craft).  So I improvised and focused on "trimming" an edge of something on my card with something that stands out.  I used some double sided adhesive and glitter.

Check out the "real" trim the rest of the DT gals used on their projects.

then link up your creation to the LRW blog here.

Thanks 4 your time!

LRW--the Obvious Halloween Challenge

Happy Halloween folks!!  No better time for a Halloween challenge from Regan over at Little Red Wagon.

Here's my Halloween creation:

 Here's a close up of the embossed witch:

LRW #208 - - Brads/Eyelets . . . Remember those?!

It's my turn to host the challenge over at Little Red Wagon this week,

and I'm asking you to dig way into your wagon and use up some of those BRADS and/or EYELETS you have hoarded ;)  

I have so many of them, but I just find I don't use them very often any more, so I challenged myself and came up with this:

Now, I'm challenging you to do the same!

Check out how the rest of the DT used BRADS / EYELETS,

then link up your project on the Little Red Wagon site here.

Thanks 4 your time!

LRW #207 - Mini-mize Me!

Sorry folks--my head cold this week has left me MIA. In addition, my camera battery charger was MIA too, so I couldn't even upload my photos if I did have the energy to post.  Alas, it has been found and here I am--better late than never.  Besides, I really like the cards I made for this week's Little Red Wagon challenge . . .

which is to make MINI cards (no larger that 3")

I made 2!  One for Halloween:

 And one for the Holidays:

Check out the great MINI creations the rest of the DT came up with, and then link up your mini creation to the LRW site here.

Thanks 4 your time!
